My personal goal is to read from exclusively black authors in the month of February in honor and celebration of Black History Month! While I’d love to read all of these, realistically I think I’ll read eight to ten. My top priorities are Blacktop Wasteland, Razorblade Tears, The City We Became, The Kindest Lie, and WILL
